you should tell me about time loops
MUWAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA YOU'VE FALLEN INTO MY TRAP!!!
Anyway, I love time loops with all my heart. A good time loop fills my soul. I love Groundhog Day and some of my top fics are about time loops!!!
My favorite part of a time loop is often the hopelessness and the "at a loss" quality to them. Something about living something over and over and nothing you do or change fixing it is so good to me. The reasoning far the mc being IN the loop is just as interesting as HOW they get out of the loop.
In Groundhog Day, he becomes a better person after the depression and it helps him get out of the loop. In one fic I read the main guy just has to move on from his best friend's suicide instead of lingering and trying to stop it. In another fic, the main guy achieves his goal, but is sent elsewhere to battle a new world. In the most recent one, it took the looper being genuine and confessing love to escape the loop.
I quite literally just started reading a new time loop fic.
Overall I just really really really like time loops. They fill me with so much emotion. If anyone has time loop recs, GIMME <3
